insn: import insn disassembler code from kernel

We need a disassembler library to help with converting data section
relocation references to their corresponding symbols.  Unfortunately,
the only library I could find that's widely available in enterprise
Linux distros was libopcodes, which is part of binutils.  But its
interface is far too clunky for our needs.

The best alternative I can find is to just copy the kernel's
disassembler library code from arch/x86/lib.
